Steering wheels - what you recommend ?

Do you have to inform your insurance company when you fit a wheel which doesn't have an airbag, how do they respond or don't you tell them?

 

I've always thought that removing a wheel with airbag is one of the most stupidest things you could do.

 

I know some will say that after a certain age the bag should be replaced anyway, I prefer to keep the airbag with a good chance of it being deployed rather than running the risk of bashing my head on an aftermarket wheel that looks nice.

Mine didn't have an airbag as it's an earlier model but I don't like airbags (steering wheel ones anyway) as I know of somebody, and heard of many more, that died due to an airbag. If you get harnesses then there is no need for one anyway.

 

If I ever get cars with airbags the first thing I do is remove the steering wheel airbag.
